The original article [1] contains an error in the lower-rightmost equation in the lower-right hand corner of Page 2 of the PDF.

The correct presentation of the equation is as shown ahead:

$${\left(t-\tau_k\right)}_+=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}t-\tau_{k\;}&:\;if\;t-\tau_k>0\\0&:\;if\;t-\tau_k\leq0\end{array}\right.$$
